FIT
Working with Merino knits to develop this pattern the tightness has been adjusted on different areas of the body to create a neat fit around the armhole and shoulder without unessesary cling throughout the lower arm or body. A pure cotton will produce a softer shape for an effortless look.

Narrow, Crew and Skivvy. Note that a Rib Knit contrast is required for the Crew option.
